Re: Obamacare

This, basically. They don't want higher wages, yet they also don't want government assistance programs. The cost of living has skyrocketed and the rate of pay has basically stayed the same. What they want basically evens out to "Everyone who isn't rich should just die."

Too bad they need the poor and the dwindling middle class to keep their asses rich. Seriously, Wal*mart expects INCREASING sales every year. If you don't make their increased sales margin, you don't get a bonus. They make billions of dollars a year, and yet they are upset they're losing money. High cost of living+dwindling help=Not much money to spend on your shit. Not rocket science.

I'm glad I got it right. 90% of the time I spend on the internet is in English, and many of the people I follow and articles on politics are from the US.

As for Wal*mart? Heh. Millions? Try billions, dude/tte. They are NOT losing money: They had more than enough to buy our biggest and meanest supermarket chain here in goddamn Chile. And they're applying their horrible job politics to the poor people that work at those supermarkets as much as Chilean law lets them. Look at the upper left corner: http://www.lider.cl/dys/

And they have 40.9% of the market here /)_x I reckon it's even worse in the US? So really, there's ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTIFICATION WHATSOEVER to all the shit they do.

I used to work there. There was this sign right outside of the office in back that had a number you -had- to meet to get a bonus. We never made it. Even on Black Friday, they expect their yearly sales to go up. Which, well, is impossible. You need to pay people money or else they have nothing to spend, you know?

Thank you! I shall give this a second reading tomorrow - it's 05:01 am here; but I skimmed through the article and realized the issue was way more complicated (yet obvious) than I previously thought.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. It must have been terribly stressful :C
